Ralph Nossek
We have just heard that Ralph Nossek, one of Mountview’s founding Directors, has recently passed away. Ralph was an acclaimed and award-winning actor whose distinguished career spanned theatre, television and film. It was during the second world war, while stationed in Ceylon, that Ralph and Peter Coxhead formed a unique Theatre Club. When they were demobbed they returned to London and after a considerable amount of work, Mountview opened in Crouch End in 1945. We are grateful for his vision and determination in those early days. Everyone at Mountview offers their condolences to Ralph’s family and friends.
